About Me

     Hi there!  I'm so glad you have found time to explore my blog.  I hope that you find some delicious recipes you'll enjoy here.  If you haven't already figured it out, I like food.  I use food to show people around me I care.  So, the more recipes I have in my arsenal, the more I can show I care. :-)  Thus, this blog was born.

Here's a little more about me outside of the food arena: 

     I'm a (recovering) attorney.  I practiced in private practice for a couple years before I scored a sweet gig with a Judge.  I jumped on that opportunity and never looked back!  I love my job.  And the people I work with are pretty great too.

 I love to work out.  I've done a couple of marathons and a handful of half marathons. 

That's me after I finished the Hospital Hill Half Marathon in June.  I've recently taken up biking as well.  I played softball, volleyball, and basketball growing up and I ran track.  In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm kinda competitive.

          I'm in two book clubs (nerd alert!).  A couple of evenings a week I volunteer with a local organization tutoring illiterate/undereducated adults who are attempting to obtain their GED.  I also teach an ESL class for that program, working with adults who speak very little to no English. 

     I have a huge family that is great!  And a ton of great friends . . . I'm a lucky gal!  I also have two adorable cats.   

That's Stormy.  She's my baby.  I literally climbed into a storm sewer to save her.  I like cats that much.  Note my creative abilities in her name. This is Miss Lil:

 

 She's pretty.  And she knows it.
